Japan Seizing Anshan Iron And Steel Resources In Modern History (1909-1945)

As early as in the Russo-Japanese War, Japan which had continuously peeped at the economical resources of the Northeast China extended its hands of the aggression to the Anshan iron ore resources. On August 16, 1909, the Manchu iron geological investigation bureau illegally started to investigate the Anshan area iron ore. In 1916 Japan had seized mining rights in eight Anshan mining areas by the faked jointly managed "the promotion company". In 1917 the Anshan iron-smelting institute established . After the " 9.18" incident broke out, for further plundering the Anshan steel resources, Japan established the Shiaowa steel-smelting institute in 1933.Along with the foreign aggressive war scale unceasing expanded, such as the invasion of China War, the Pacific War, etc, which Japan motered , the Anshan steel industry developed day after day completely became the important part of the Japanese suzerain colonialism economic system, obeyed to the total goal of the Japanese foreign military aggression.

This article plans to open out the essence and the goal of Japan's plunder of Anshan and the Northeast China steel resources, through combing the process of the above questions.
